Create a new board

I need a fresh board for the Acme website redesign. Name it Acme Website — Cross‑Functional, add me as admin, make the privacy company‑visible, and invite Jenna in Design and Marcus in Engineering. Create default lists Backlog, Doing, Review, Done. Before I hand it to the team on Monday, check that board description includes project start date June 21 and the product brief link and that the labels Redesign, Blocker, QA exist.

Before I hand this new Acme Website board to Jenna and Marcus, make it obvious where work starts. Put Backlog first and call it Incoming Backlog, move a short list description that says how to write a card title (Feature — short summary), surface the project start date and the product brief link at the top of the board, and create labels Redesign, Blocker, QA, and Low Priority so reviewers aren’t hunting.

I just made the Acme Website — Cross‑Functional board and added Jenna and Marcus. I’m worried it looks bare and they’ll assume I haven’t prepared the work. I don’t know which lists they expect first and whether legal needs view access. What’s the likely expectation from a cross‑functional kickoff and what should I add now so Monday’s meeting isn’t awkward?

Over the last six months I’ve created separate boards for six projects but three never reached active use; teams complain we fragment work. I’m losing time setting permissions and copying lists. Which habit should I change so new boards actually get adopted and stop duplicating effort across projects?
